A Pointless Game
 
If you could have one wrestler take you under their wing and show you the ropes not onlyin the ring but backstage and everything else on your way to being a superstar...who would it be and why?

loopydate 07-12-2004 09:16 PM

At the moment, probably Chris Jericho. I idolize Shawn Michaels as an in-ring performer, but I don't agree with the way he conducts himself off-camera, so I wouldn't want to learn the ropes from him.

Jericho is a fantastic performer, plus he seems to be free of a lot of the emotional baggage that some of the other top guys have.

Tornado 07-12-2004 09:16 PM

If he was full time, The Rock.

Currently, as much as I hate to say it, Triple H, hes done great things for Ortons career.

Volchok 07-12-2004 09:55 PM

Triple H... not only because he has so much pull backstage but the passion for the business... or atleast the passion he used to have, either that or Jericho.. i idolize Jericho.. he is hands down the greatest

Lara Emily 07-12-2004 10:13 PM

Benoit.

KingofOldSchool 07-12-2004 10:14 PM

Ric Flair.

Watson 07-12-2004 11:07 PM

tie between Raven and Bret Hart

ColdwaVer 07-12-2004 11:51 PM

I'd say Kane. Anyone who has been around as long as he has, <i>and</i> put up with the amount of crap he has, can almost certainly teach you something about career longevity.

between Flair and Raven you'd be a master of in ring psychology

I'd probably go with Benoit

Kapoutman 07-13-2004 01:09 AM

Bret Hart would be my choice.

Shadow 07-13-2004 01:10 AM

Matt Hardy.

Funky Fly 07-13-2004 01:14 AM

Since I'd actually like to be a decent wrestler, I'd say Bret Hart, but I guess since being a stand up guy doesn't get you anywhere, I'll say Hunter Hearst Hold-down. :roll:

BTW, post 21,000. Dedicated to Triple A for modding me up anyway. :cool:

Mayo 07-13-2004 01:20 AM

I would have to go with either HHH or Flair. They are both very knowledgeable in the ring, and both have had great matches throughout their lifetime. Hunter has backstage pull because of his wife, but I think that Flair got his respect backstage through leading by example and by putting his heart into the business. They are both naturals on the mic and can basically teach you anything about the entire business.

I agree. I was tempted to say HHH, but I don't need anyone to teach me how to kiss the boss' ass. Plus, I don't think I could-ah, stand-ah, him-ah for-ah a whole-ah day-ah or more-ah.

Right now, I would have to say Kane or The Undertaker.

Kane edges out Taker just by virtue of the fact that Taker's career is winding down, while Kane probably has a few good years more left in him.

Funky Fly 07-13-2004 01:49 AM

I'd just like to change my answer to Ricky Steamboat

LK 07-13-2004 10:15 AM

Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit

Y2J! witout a doubt... I could be Lionheart the Lame :lol:

My Final Heaven 07-13-2004 12:10 PM

I dunno why I'm saying this, but when I saw the question the first name that came to my head was "Steven Richards." He's been in the business for years, he's a solid wrestler, and to me he just seems like he would make an excellent teacher.

Corkscrewed 07-13-2004 01:02 PM

Eddie Guerrero. He's a fantastic performer and seems like an awesome guy to hang out with.

.44 Magdalene 07-13-2004 01:16 PM

Lance F'ing Storm.

Sickboy 07-13-2004 01:30 PM

Triple H or the Undertaker

Regardless of Scott Levy's checkered past, he's a master of ring psychology. I've heard guys in the business say that he's got one of the most brilliant minds in the business. So what if he snorted some coke hell that was his choice. That doesn't change the fact that he would be an awesome teacher.

The Naitch 07-13-2004 07:21 PM

The Rock and Rey Mysterio

Cruiserweight 3:16 07-13-2004 07:34 PM

I'll be different and say either Charlie Haas or Shelton Benjamin - I've met them both before and they REALLY know their stuff. They could point out little mistakes which everybody on here wouldn't notice and think of better ways of performing a move.

Yes.

An awesome teacher at cocaine snorting.

Raven: "See you have to make sure the cocaine is refine and a nice line without lumps. I mean it sucks to get a big lump of cocaine stuck up your nose. Trust me, I've been there."
